‘Satellite systems, cyber space systems are the real power of the army’
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that “Since the Second World War, all countries have been going through the era of Cold War. Therefore, now the armies are not fighting face-to-face war but attacks are being made through proxy war. In this era, missile-based warfare system has emerged as a benchmark. The use of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles is huge.”
He said that “In future, the challenges of cyber war and proxy war will increase, so real time information, data transformation will play an important role. Therefore, satellite systems, cyber space systems will be the real power of the army. We will have to work on an active strategy regarding this.” ‘It is necessary to be prepared for battle in every situation’
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that “future wars will not be fought with weapons but with technology based planning and cyber resources. Therefore, we should be prepared economically and in terms of self-reliance. Referring to the Chinese word Sung Chu, he said that it is not necessary to fight but it is also important to be ready for battle in every situation. A country like India has never fought a war by taking the lead but when forced to fight, the Indian Army has always given a befitting reply to the enemy army.”
‘Role of Air Force is more important’
While discussing the battle in Ran Samvad, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that “In today’s era, there is no fixed system of war which can be trusted blindly. However, in today’s era, the role of Air Force is more important than Army and Navy.”
The Defence Minister said that “Defensive technology is being developed rapidly by DRDO. Sudarshan Chakra is an example of this. Which has introduced the Indian Air Defense System to the whole world.”

Therefore, we will have to focus on our satellite system, information system and intelligence. In the future, intelligence will be the worth of the nation. Therefore, along with developing cyber infrastructure, we have to upgrade ourselves according to the changing warfare system.
